Michael Carrick was not impressed with one pundit’s question after Man Utd’s loss to Hull (Photo: Viaplay/Getty) Michael Carrick was left fuming with a football pundit who accused Manchester United of ‘lacking passion’ during their defeat at Hull City. United’s season got off to a terrible start on Saturday when they beaten 2-0 by the newly-promoted side in their first Premier League game for nearly a decade. It was a deserved win for the Tigers, with the Red Devils coming under heavy criticism in Carrick’s first match since being appointed head coach on a permanent basis. The former United midfielder conceded that his side had ‘a lot to learn’ and was largely measured in his responses when speaking post-match.

But in a newly-surfaced interview shortly after full-time, Carrick took exception to one question from Viaplay pundit and former Premier League striker Jan Åge Fjørtoft. The former Norway international, who played for Swindon, Middlesbrough and Barnsley, asked the head coach if he ‘would accept there was a lack of passion in the first-half’ from United. Carrick was extremely unimpressed with the question, snapping back: ‘Oh come on, that’s ridiculous! Man Utd were well beat by Hull (Photo: Getty) ‘You played football. You understand.

I think it was just their moments that made the difference in the game.’ Hull City recorded a famous win in their first Premier League game since 2017 (Photo: Getty) Carrick will be hoping for a major improvement when United take on Ipswich Town at Old Trafford next Sunday. After the defeat at Hull, Alan Shearer claimed United were not ready for the new season, saying: ‘I haven’t seen Manchester United in pre-season, but I saw them in this game and they didn’t look fit. ‘‘They didn’t look ready to play 90 minutes of intense, high-pressure, high-energy football.

Brazilian Emersonn, who scored on his Premier League debut, offered an industrious, clever display in Ipswich's forward line. Then there was the Ecuadorian Nilson Angulo's free-kick for Sunderland, which was very special. The pace was too much even for the wingspan of the giant Kjell Scherpen in the Ipswich goal.
